Turns out I was wrong, so that's good news. The statics doesn't need Patent Granted to go online so hopefully yall will get Static Registration opened soon

[5:43 PM] CCRevolution: The reason we have had to hold back from moving forward with STATIC registrations, which also means the next testnet and ultimately the mainnet is because we could not share the "piece" of code that the STATIC owners require to run their STATIC. This was a matter of legal consequences had we shared prior to patent pending. Doing so is a disclosure and would render the invention unpatentable in several important jurisdictions.
[5:47 PM] smotzer: Thanks, Dave :thumbsup_tone1:
[5:48 PM] DJC73: @CCRevolution So to put @xlmb mind at rest there is no reason that mainnet can't go ahead prior to patent granted?
[5:48 PM] CCRevolution: None at all... the 2 are not connected.
[5:48 PM] DJC73: Cheers. :xbyrocketemoji:
[5:51 PM] CCRevolution: The developers are currently setting up the pre-STATIC base network so they can test a few things. These are servers which are effectively the same as STATIC nodes, but its a closed network for testing purposes.

One of the things they work on while setting all this up is creating a guide to share later for people to follow when they are setting up their STATIC nodes.
